Specifically on cars in transit, as noted in our press release on October 2nd, we’ve started to experience limits on outbound logistics capacity which we didn’t anticipate. This issue is particularly present for ships from Shanghai to Europe and local trucking within certain parts of the U.S. and Europe. Our historical operating pattern of batch building by delivery region leads to extreme concentrations of outbound logistics needs in the final weeks of each quarter. Just to put this in perspective, roughly two-thirds of our Q3 deliveries occurred in September and one-third in the final two weeks. As a result, we’ve begun to smooth the regional builds throughout the quarter to reduce our peak needs for outbound logistics. We expect this to simplify our operations, reduce costs and improve the experience of our customers.
正如我们在 10 月 2 日的新闻稿中指出的那样,特别是在运输途中的汽车方面,我们已经开始遇到我们没有预料到的出站物流能力限制。这个问题尤其存在于从上海到欧洲的船舶以及美国和欧洲某些地区的本地卡车运输。我们按交付区域分批建设的历史运营模式导致每个季度最后几周的出境物流需求极端集中。为了正确看待这一点,我们第三季度大约三分之二的交付发生在 9 月,三分之一发生在最后两周。因此,我们已经开始在整个季度平滑区域建设,以减少我们对出站物流的高峰需求。我们希望这能简化我们的运营、降低成本并改善客户的体验。】
“Our historical operating pattern of batch building by delivery region”这是个什么东西,我当时琢磨了半天也不明白,在我的概念里,边生产边交付无论如何都不会导致“extreme concentrations of outbound logistics needs”。
$特斯拉(TSLA)$ 12月第一周(11.28~12.04)国内上险量11670辆,比上一周下降4451辆。从数据上来说,我认为是低于预期的。目前来看,即使减产最终没有发生,我认为这种可能也摆上了特斯拉决策层的桌面上。
